Unsu>>>> There is one issue from the GRU
policy proposal I have ported from
Wikipedia. It specifies that those with the right to
view deleted
contributions should not do so in order to disseminate the content of the
deleted contributions to third parties.
How do we know? There is no log of who views deleted pages except for
whatever Brion and the other devs can access. Do we need such a log?
This is an interesting issue for Wikinews as two controversial deleted
articles were passed to Wikileaks. I doubt knowing who accessed the deleted
content would get us any closer to knowing who was responsible for the leak,
but it would narrow the field.
There are no logs (maybe in the future?). You should ask people from
en.wp how do they deal with their own admins. It is about social
engineering, not about a technical one.
If the logs show that several people have accessed th page how can you
know which one was responsible for the leak?

Stuff that is worth leaking should probably be oversighted since that
is what the tool was made for.

Oversighting is covered by a specific policy
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Oversight and (at least on English
Wikipedia) Oversighters won't go outside of it (at least, anymore).
You would be agast to know what they'll decline to oversight.
